The Stanley Panel Carry is designed to make it easy to hand-carry flat panels of wood and other materials. It features a 14-inch handle for extra reach, and it is designed for better balance, control, and visibility while carrying. Its angled handles keep hands away from the panel for comfort. The panel carry is a high-visibility yellow.

I've made something similar before. I've recently moved and can't find them. I bought a couple of these to move OSB panels for my workshop. They are great. There is a bit of an angle to keep your knuckles from scraping when lifting. A must have item if you are working alone as I am. I can't say for their long term durability but they seem to take the weight well...not much flex. I'm sure they will last a long time.

Unless you are an Orangutan your arms are not long enough to carry 4x8 sheets of material, do yourself a favor and get one, or two. I just ordered a second one to use when two people are lugging some heavy sheets it will be real easy with the added horsepower of a helper as we have to lug up steps and a steep slope. One can do it by himself with the Carry Handle but with a helper and a second handle it will be a walk in the park.

It is plastic but seems sturdy enough to last if you don't abuse it or run the truck over it. I like the idea another poster did adding sandpaper to create a non-slip grip on the panel as on an incline or stairs the sheets do tend to want to slip and that is a bit dangerous trying to capture an errant panel and not fall down the stairs yourself.

The slipping problem is the reason for the four stars, otherwise it is great, get a couple.

This is the kind of simple tool that makes life easier at a very low price. After struggling to carry drywall, cement board, wood or other large pieces of building material by hand, you wonder, why doesn't someone make a handle for carrying materials like this? Someone did. Here it is.

This handle does exactly what it is supposed to do. It gives your hands and arms some much needed help without breaking the bank. The plastic that it is made out of is good, solid plastic and the curve gives you better grip and leverage than if it were a straight piece of plastic.
